Creating Smiles Being a Bulldog sure does have its moments. “‘I’ll never forget the South Point game. Two guys from South Point dared this other South Point guy to come up and bite me on my leg. | was so em- barrassed’’, commented junior Bulldog, Celeste Harkey. Senior Bulldog, Sandra Hayes has a problem seeing and it almost cost her her life. ‘‘During a football pep rally | was walking around center court in the gym when all of a sudden | heard something that sounded like thunder. It was all the football players running out to center court. | got out of there as fast as | could.’” Sandra added, ‘’The suit is too big for me. | have to pin it up about six inches. If | don’t | can’t take three steps without falling.”’ The Bulldogs were picked on the basis of how well they could do the cheers, shout and most of all make people laugh. During pep rallies the Bulldogs dance around and wag their tails. When asked whether having a Bulldog boosted school spirit Sandra replied, ‘’| don’t know whether or not it helps school spirit but I've been able to make a lot of little kids smile.”’ KENNETH DARRELL ENGLAND THOMAS FINNEY — Cross Country 10; Bus Driver’s Club 10,11,12.

For the necessities it will cost the average senior over $500 just to survive. When it’s time to order graduation necessities the cost of being a senior soon rises. For the essential class ring you pay from $100 to $200 and $7 for a senior key. A cap and gown costs $9, the an- nouncements $6 to $24, the calling cards $6, ‘‘Thank-You’’ notes are $5, the ‘School Days’’ Memory Book runs $2.75, $5 for the diploma and $2 for a miniature diploma. And of course the senior por- traits run from $12 to $130. As you can see graduation itself is a very costly — but rewarding — experience. A senior who’s planning to attend col- lege will spend a tremendous amount be- fore he even begins his freshman year. The processing charge for an application (which is usually sent to more than one college) costs $10 to $15. If he’s ac- cepted he will pay the college $200 which is redeemable if he decides that it’s not the place for him. A medical examination runs $40 and up, while he pays $35 to take an advanced English test to be exempt from Freshman English, and depending upon your spending habits it costs $30 and up to visit the college of your choice for a view of campus life. The prom has a special place in each senior’s heart for it’s the last dance they attend as the Class of ‘80. A prom dress or tux costs $45, the prom ticket $7 to $12, the prom picture $6, and of course a corsage for that special girl costs $6. The last time to be with these special people called ‘’seniors’’, an optional ex- pense which runs $200 and up, is THE BEACH TRIP. This is a special year for a senior and even though it’s an expensive one most any senior would tell you that’s worth every penny you put in it. Senioritis is when a person can’t wait to graduate, then before he knows it his last year in high school, his “‘senior’’ year is gone. 130 Seniors
